An X-ray of Human Rights in Communist Romania. A Memoir Addressed to the U.S. Congress, March 1979

Summary/Abstract: In Romania, the human rights movement initiated by Paul Goma in the spring of 1977 created the context for a new practice within Romanian society, rooted in necessity and opportunity. This involved the drafting of open letters or memoirs requesting the observance of fundamental rights and freedoms, whether regarding cases of discrimination, freedom of conscience, freedom of movement, or the right to emigrate.The document we are publishing is a memoir addressed to the U.S. Congress on March 5, 1979, by six Romanian citizens who were denied the right to emigrate. The document, divided into two sections, refers to human rights violations and the repressive and intimidating methods used by the communist authorities against those "guilty" of thinking or acting in contradiction with the socialist way of life.
